So excited to be part of this blog hop and big thanks to Ronda and Nikki for hosting it!

I love, love, LOVE Independence Day! It's my 2nd favorite holiday after Halloween, mainly because I like things that sparkle in the dark (except vampires!) Or should I say EXPLODE in the dark, because hey, I am an erotic romance author after all! I also think it is wonderful to pay tribute to those who keep us safe!

And to keep your Independence Day holiday HAWT, I'm sharing a short excerpt from UNWRAPPED, my holiday menage romance from Loose Id!

UNWRAPPED Blurb:

Caitlyn Sachs has a great life. A family she loves, check.
An incredible design job working with her best friends, Tristan and Matt,
check. An amazing home she shares with the guys, double check. But her upcoming
twenty-fifth birthday and the desire to shed the burden of her virginity have
spurred her to consider something shocking. All she wants is one uncomplicated
night with one of her best friends, no strings attached. But how can she
choose?

Except there’s another problem. Tristan and Matt are already involved
sexually with each other, much to Cait’s shock. And both men have long harbored
feelings for Cait that go way beyond friendship. When they whisk her away for
her birthday to a cabin in the mountains, she discovers the extent of their
lust—and her own. The gift they give her is one she'll never forget.

But when the weekend's over, will she retreat to the safety of the status
quo, if they'll even let her, or will she finally embrace what she's secretly
craved for so long?

“I’m only asking because it’s you. Normally I’d say to hell with it and
take my shot,” Matt said, his voice guttural. “I want in those pants of yours,
and I’m going to get there. But only if you say yes first.”

To his surprise, Cait gave him a small smile and rubbed her palm over her
wool-clad thigh. “I’m wearing a dress.”

“Is that a yes?”

She paused just long enough to make him want to drop to his knees and say a
loud, fervent prayer. “No.” He still hadn’t recovered from her answer when her
smile widened. “That’s a hell yes, please.”

He soon found himself on his knees anyway, close enough to her heat to
breathe her in. He translated the confusion on her face as he rolled up her
dress, revealing her pale legs. No stockings or garters. Just pure, untouched
flesh.

Really untouched.

His mouth went dry, and he glanced up to seek her permission again. This
wasn’t some random girl he’d hooked up with in a bar. It also wasn’t Tristan,
who not only took what he dished out but served it right back up to him. This
was the girl he’d loved so long, platonically and then otherwise, that he
hardly remembered the years before she’d come into his life. It felt like she’d
always been there. Always would be.

Trying to get himself back in line, he kissed the inside of her knee. She
touched his hair, reaching down to loosen his ponytail like he’d done with
hers. She brushed her fingers over the back of his neck, saying more with that
one gesture than she could have with a thousand words.

I want you. I trust you. I love you.

Along with all the AMAZING prizes to be had on the hop, I'm offering some too!

I'm in Canada, so we had our holiday last weekend. My kids were away at camp and my husband was working backshift, so the dog and I watched fireworks from our deck and ate cheesecake! I also caught up on this season of True Blood and finished reading two books. It was an awesome day :) This weekend everyone is back home so it will be cooking, cleaning and laundry all weekend...not so awesome.

I had a rather uneventfull 4th this year! We stayed home on the actual 4th and I read. We did go out with friends and watch fireworks on the 3rd and ended up getting stuck for about 3 hours trying to get out of the parking lot!

GFC: Nay NayAfter spending time with my family and eating lots of great food, we sat and watched the fireworks show from the Rose Bowl. We had a ring side seat in our front yard. <^_^>Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.reneebennett35 (at) yahoo (dot) com

How I spent my 4th of July by CarinOn June 25th I stepped into my gutter and managed to break my right foot and tear tendons in my left. So on July 4th I was trapped in bed with my feet elevated and ice on them. Now I wouldn't mind being trapped in bed with my feet elevated and I could find a better use for ice if my hubby was in the bed with me ;) sadly this was not the case and pain killers have a tendency to kill the libido.Carin mawmom(@)gmail.com

We ended up just doing swimming and a family BBQ at my Mom's. We missed the parade due to cranky children, wasn't worth listening to them fight. I would love to get your newsletter. Thanks for participating in the hop, i have found lots of new books/authors for my wish list. starsia_70@yahoo.com

Well we celebrated the 4th of July of the 5th because my Hubby is a Police Officer, 32 years & still going strong) & the 4th is one of their busiest days. But we always enjoy celebrating with family at our house on the 5th with a cookout & a pool volley ball game…& it’s always the start of my Hubby’s vacation time.

I would very much appreciate the opportunity to be considered in your very generous giveaway.
